Hi, Ik don't think there is an openoffice binary on the freebsd servers, not sure though. But you can pkg_add a package from good-day.net, take a look at ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ and choose a package and then just pkg_add the package without the -r option. -- Ruud Jansen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards, Tharaka Hello! If you gave us a little bit more information about what you exactly want to know we could give better answers. So I'll tell some basics: 1. Download FreeBSD at http://www.freebsd.org/where.html 2. Read (parts of) the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ (Chapter 2 is about installing FreeBSD) Good luck! :-) -- Ruud Jansen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- E-mail is not a website MSN:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Away is not online pgpgAnHNld0MF.pgp Description: PGP signature
